Hi,

Here is my observation on Linaro android builds for pandboard.

Last week, I have flashed a Android JB build(unfortunately forgot the build number) on pandaboard.
I found that the screen shows Android Logo and the the booting process never completed.

Anyway thanks for the responses.
From the above discussion we can say that, Linaro will not officially provide any support for pandaboard.
So could please suggest me, which board will be better to buy for mobile platform development that already/will have Android-5 support.
As I know Juno might be used for this purpose, but it is little bit costly isn't it?

Best Regards,
Imran

I guess I find that kind of odd!  Linaro certainly in the past has
published many a build with working panda support. I've had 2 panda
and 1 panda es board and they certainly were running Linaro releases
over the years.

You might want to look into older releases on http://releases.linaro.org

I personally like the odroid boards, I've got an xu that I used to use
quite a bit. No idea if they'd make a good starting point for a car
project tho.
